the US is wrong for not giving them money... i need to set up a terror group /heavy sarcasm

[tobyhill]

I just read that they pledged $10 million. That will last a couple months and just enough time for Israel to finish the fence then let them have at it.

[GSlob]

"...if the Palestinian Authority collapses then you could potentially have a civil war..."
Nothing wrong with it. There are VERY few places which could benefit more from a good civil war.

[Argus]

"A quarter of Palestinians rely on public sector salaries, and failure to pay these salaries could jeopardize the very foundation of the institutions of the Palestinian Authority and the future Palestinian state," Abbas told the Quartet.

Well really, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

[untenured]

There is obviously a moral imperative to avoid if possible the death of Palestinians from starvation, lack of medical treatment, etc. (Although they are in the same position as those starving and suffering anywhere else in the world.) But it is increasingly clear that the Palestinians have to let their way of thinking, 60 years in the making, play out to its logical conclusion, at which time perhaps everyone can sit down and reason together. That, I suspect, is what disengagement and the cutoff of the PA from its welfare dependency is about.

yeah, sit behind the wall and eat popcorn :)

I hope that we stick to our principles and insist that our money goes to the Swiss bank accounts and not to blowing up Israelis. < /sarcasm which goes to 11>

*****the US is wrong for not giving them money... i need to set up a terror group /heavy sarcasm*****

yet, when we do cave in and give them money, the left will throw that in America's face in a few years when the Palestinian terror attacks hit closer to home. Just watch.

[kinoxi]

well stated, what do you think their best course of action (the israelis) is?

[samadams2000]

We are so soft.

[Ben Mugged]

Why are we subsidizing terrorists while we are at war on terrorism? Anyone else find this bizarre?

[martinidon]

Yep, we have plenty of taxpayer money to pass around.....unless you are a Christian organization!

[Right Wing Assault]

Give the enemy of our ally money so they can shoot rockets at our ally. Whudda country! Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming.

No kidding. It's kinda like giving money to the Hitler Youth because they work with children.

[SouthernFreebird]

And yet they tell us we can't afford to secure our borders with our money they freely send to frikkin terrorists.

[SittinYonder]

After reading this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1629252/posts earlier today, this article was predictable.

[RolandBurnam]

yep, sad. I say make bombs with the money and just drop them on the palestinian animals.

Hey, Every NWO/Globalist has their priorities.
Now if they could just come up with a good pill for us all to take so we can all swallow this better.

[Sabramerican]

United States was edging closer to agreeing to a ,i>temporary international mechanism" to pay employees of the Hamas-led government

You're either with us in paying the terrorists or we will pay them ourselves.

Israel's Best Friend Ever literally paying the salary of the leaders of an organization designated by the US as a terrorist organization

NO, THIS IS NOT SATIRE.
